Pls dont pirate indie games. They are usually made by a very small amount of people that work realy hard and deserve every cent. And usually they are very cheap. Everybody can spare five bucks once in a while.
I can't :( It's 5 dollar for you not for me. (I am a Teen BTW)
Ahhh the prime pirating years. Enjoy! If I hadn't pirated at that age, I would have but a tiny fraction of the shared culture and nostalgia that I currently enjoy with my peers.
...and that contemporary game makers and publishers profit from today, now that I've got money to spend.
Love my dad for getting us a chipped PS 1. Fridays going go a rental shop and rent 1 to 2 games. Test them out. If they are alright dad tries to burn/copy the games for us. As you can see still we were pirating games but couldnt afford to rip all them games. What a beatiful childhood memory :D
Indeed, treasure that memory. I wish I'd had access to the pirate/bootleg console scene, but at least there was the PC scene, and emulators for me.
Brother, I was there some decades ago. Now I buy games that I don’t have time to play so that you can pirate still. Be me one day, and the cycle can go forever.
I will.
Pirate today, buy tomorrow...unless its a AAA dumpster fire. Always pirate AAA games. The gaming experience tends to be better because pirates remove all the anti-cheat and other BS.
